Hi Thumper,
My daughter is interested but we have tried to get on the website a few times since you posted the message and clicking on the link just gives the message "disabled for now sorry".
Can you advise if she can check it another way ?

[Thumper]

I would be interested but I don't have a dry suit or my own transport. :( Will keep an eye out for any more courses you have. :)

[Thumper]

Ask around,it may suprise you who may have one you can borrow for the day,or have a look on ebay,plenty cheap suits to be had if you keep an eye out,and as for transport,although it is easier if you have your own,we also need to double up medics so you could possibly be picked up when needed,have a think about it x

[Thumper]

Just bumping this upfront again,if anyone wants more info please feel free to pm me,or look on our website thanks! :) x

You can rent a wet suit from a shop in Thurso. I am not sure what it is called, but it is on the road that continues off the pedestrian street toward the shore ( on the right hand side as you walk towards the beach) and sells fishing gear and the scouts jumpers.

Unfortunately I'm extremely busy with family/work commitments, so I can't make it. However I think you will have a superb day, and I am very interested to see a blog/photos of your training day afterwards, if this would be possible?

[Thumper]

Which is sadly why I can't come, because I just can't commit at the monent. Maybe in couple years, then the kids are up a bit. Wishing you and your team the very best of luck. Will look you up on f/b. xx
